Sukkur: Disappointed by media reports about his second marriage with an MP from his own party, Leader of Opposition in the Sindh Assembly Haleem Adil Shaikh on Friday said, “It is our personal matter.”
The matter came to light when MPA Tahira Dua shared pictures of her newborn baby on social media. The pictures were from an event to celebrate the birth of the child. In these, the name of the child – Kamil Haleem Sheikh – can be seen written in the background.
Addressing a press conference in Sukkur, Haleem Adil Sheikh said that they married according to Sharia principles and there was no need to pressurize to announce the marriage.
“I have told whom I have to inform. There is no need to create ruckus over personal matters.
The PTI leader had on Friday confirmed that he had married Dua after the 2018 general elections.
Responding to the report, PPP MPA Taimur Talpur took to Twitter to congratulate Sheikh, saying he would put aside his political differences to wish the opposition leader a “happy marriage and birth of a son”. . . However, he complained about not being invited to the wedding reception.
“Politics aside, I congratulate Haleem Adil Sheikh on his marriage” [the birth of his son]. The only sad part is that Haleem Adil did not invite me to his wedding, otherwise, I would have attended the reception too,” Talpur had said.
